is there any way to edit text files or whatever to change stuff, eg so that scotland can train highlanders anywhere?

Very easy.

1) Open the file crusaders_unit_prod11.txt in notepad (save a backup/make a copy of it first).

2) Find this section:

And remove the second "ID_SCOTLAND" (in bold above), do not remove or add any tabs, carriage returns, spaces or other characters.

3) Save the file and run the game.
